Firestone Complete Auto Care | Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo Buy 3 Get the 4th Free

Looks like the best deal...depending if the Firstone store bumps the price to offset this. Will look in the morning....thanks for the link.

Also talked to a gym buddy....she has a Dodge 1500 4x4 Quad Cab {my truck, just the Dodge version} and she went with the Cooper Zeons......She likes them much better than the Goodyears that it came with.

Need to do something here soon.

Thanks for the inputs....

Go with GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor!!!! I love them. I have 25k so far and still look new. Just keep them rotated and balanced... They are great in snow/wet/offroad, except mud like any other A/T. Remember, you get what you pay for, just like your XD......................

I have BF Goodrich T/A's on my 06 F-250 4x4 and I've put over 80,000 miles on them, without a single flat, and they still have plenty of tread. My spare has yet to touch the ground. When the time comes to buy new tires I know what I'm getting.

I would go with BF goodrich. A guy I used to work with drove a set all the way from Tennesse to North Idaho and had zero issues with them. He said they work great in all weather conditions.

Looked long and hard and ended up going against conventional wisdom {or at least as conventional as we are here....} and got a set of the Cooper Zeon LTZ's. Really came down to the toss up between the Zeon's and the Bridgstone Dueller Revo's, but the local Firestone/Bridgestone guys here would have had to order the tires and it would have been a couple of days.

Have had them since Monday... Only complaint so far is that they are not as quiet as people said. But they are not bad....All Terrain T/A's are louder in my experience. And a much more aggressive tread than the Bridgestones. Handling is about the same as with the oem Pirelli Scorps, but wet traction is much, much better. Off road traction is also much better, but with this tread, I did expect that. These tires sling mud very, very well....I found this out and ended up having to clean both the truck and the boat. { An aside, but the wife and I finally pulled our pontoon boat out for the winter. I backed the truck/trailer in, then hopped in the boat to pull it on the trailer. Wife is in the drivers seat getting ready to pull me out. So far, so good. There is another guy waiting to pull his boat out, so being a good boater, I told the wife to pull us up and then over to the gravel side so he can get his boat out.....she heard the over and up, not the up and over... The difference? The big patch of mud She sprayed me with a lot of mud....ended up putting the truck into 4wd to get the boat and truck thru the mud onto the gravel.....}

So far, I do like the tires....and they do look much more aggresive on the truck than did the Pirelli's Scorpions or the Duelers that we have on our 05 F150. I won't buy a set of tires just for the look, but I do take pride in how my truck looks, and I do like the look much better. Just waiting until a good snow to see how they will handle that.









Thanks for all of the input....don't think I could have gone wrong with any of the recommendations...

More of a mud tire, but I had Cooper Discoverer STT's on my Wrangler JK and absolutely loved them!!



*EDIT*

Just realized that you already made your decision, my bad! Oh well, you get to see my Jeep flexing

I would say look at the Yokohama Geolander AT-S as well, great tire company, almost the same design as the Revo and much cheaper, in a quailty brand tire.
